Irish Point (1/1), Home By The Lee (9/4), Asterion Forlonge (6/1), Buddy One (10/1), Ballyadam (18/1), Beacon Edge (40/1)
IRISH POINT is on an upward curve and looks very much the way to go on the back of his stylish Down Royal success with this step up in distance also a likely plus. Last year's victor Home By The Lee should ensure Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, with Asterion Forlonge not ruled out either now reverted to hurdles.
